The St. Petersburg Pier is a wonderful place to visit. The offer great views of Tampa Bay. You can watch boats float around and people fishing from the pier.                          There are several places to eat around the pier. I headed to Doc Fords for some fresh Florida seafood. Doc Fords offers lots of seating options. You can sit inside or outside. There is a huge aquarium right at the door when you walk in. If you are lucky, you can say hello to Nemo and Dory. I sat outside on the patio to enjoy the fresh sea air. I…

St. Petersburg has many fun beach bars to check out. Toasted Monkey is one of those. Thy have the main bar in the front and the actual beach bar in the back.

Going out to dinner with friends is a wonderful experience. When friends of mine learned I write a food blog, they made sure to pick a new restaurant for us to try. That is one of the reasons we went to 400 Beach in St. Petersburg, Florida. The other reason is because it was my birthday. It was a beautiful place with seating both inside and outside. Since it was way to hot to eat outside, we sat inside to stay nice and cool. There were tropical decorations everywhere.    We kicked off my birthday with cocktails. I ordered the…
